I currently have H&R lowering springs on a 2003 TT Tiptronic Coupe (new to me). Looking to return to stock springs as it is my daily driver and I have to deal with NJ roads. The part numbers I believe I am looking for are:

Front 996.343.533.18
Rear 996.333.531.45

I believe the rear springs are a different part # for 2002-2003 TT Tiptronic Coupe than the manual trans as I guess there is some weight difference. I am finding plenty of manual trans rear springs (996.333.531.44?) out there but no tiptronic springs.

New rear springs cost $$$ and have to come from Germany so I would prefer to find a slightly used set. Is it OK to use the manual trans rear springs? Is there a noticeable difference in spring rates?

Thanks

 

I'm sure there's somebody out there who has the answer - this forum is a wealth of information!

What's the difference in spring rates between the two rear springs available for the 2002+ TT Coupe?

02-05 TT Coupe Manual Rear Springs 996.333.531.44
02-05 TT Coupe Tiptronic Rear Springs 996.333.531.45

 

Received some updated info on the part #'s over a Rennlist.

Latest part #'s:

Tiptronic Rear Springs: 996.333.531.47 (02-05 M 249 Coupe)
6-speed Rear Springs: 996.333.531.46 (02-05 M 480 Coupe)

Tiptronic rear springs have been hard to find. Any issues in using 6-speed rear springs? Is there a minimal different difference in spring rates?

 

Let me know when you are ready to get rid of the H&R springs.

 

I'll be happy to get rid of them after 1) I can find some low-mileage Tip springs, or 2) I find out that using 6-speed springs won't cause any handling issues.

Judging from the amount of replies to this thread I think I've stumped the forum on this one !

 

Try posting up on renntech. I'm sure someone there can quickly answer it for you
